RE: What's your dog?
if your LAB is in good shape,they will do fine..
i agree with you..
but LAB hunts real close and i like that ..
GSP i hunted behind were all way out,same with pointers ,es..
if LAB is not in shape,yes, you are right,they get tired..
heavy coat is tough on them in warm weather..
but i feel LAB for a lot of reasons is better ALL AROUND DOG,field, home .........
only my opinion also.......
